Electrical Engineering Intern, High Frequency Power …, San Francisco

RF Power Engineering Intern

Atomic Semi is building a small, fast semiconductor fab. It's already possible to build this with today's technology and a few simplifications. We'll build the tools ourselves so we can quickly iterate and improve. We're building a small team of exceptional, hands-on engineers to make this happen. Mechanical, electrical, hardware, computer, and process. We'll own the stack from atoms to architecture. Our team is optimistic about the future and we want to continue pushing the limits of technology.Smaller is better. Faster is better. Building it ourselves is better. Atomic was founded by Sam Zeloof and Jim Keller. Sam is best known for making chips in his garage, and Jim has been a leader in the semiconductor industry for the past 40 years. About the Role

We're hiring a RF Power Engineering Intern for the fall term. The internship begins in September, with a preferred commitment of 4 to 8 months. We're rebuilding the chip fabrication process from the ground up, so you'll be exposed to some really interesting and impactful work. You will rapidly develop and test the compact RF systems inside our fabrication tools. You'll be expected to identify problems, prototype solutions, productionize your prototypes, and deliver finished solutions that will revolutionize IC manufacturing.Our philosophy is to get things built and tested in days or weeks, not months. Because of this, a portfolio is required to apply: show us the things you've actually built! If you've shipped a medium-to-high complexity system through a personal project or previous internship, you'd be a good fit here.Responsibilities

Contribute to the design of complete RF power systems from architecture to schematic to layout Ensure accurate RF power diagnostics and metrology Collaborate with engineers and scientists to gather system requirements Help define firmware requirements Source components and lead manufacturing effortRequired Experience

Experience building of RF systems RF resonant power amplifier design in the 100s of Watts range RF power measurement sensor design Hands on prototyping and testing Cable harness design, documentation, and fabrication Nice-to-Have

Advanced degree in power electronics or related field Plasma systems experience Systems engineering and integration Working at Atomic Semi
